CentOS 7 AMI missing ENA support
by Allen, Jonathan 24 Jan '18

24 Jan '18

Getting this API error trying to launch CentOS 7 (x86_64) - with Updates HVM AMI with AWS c5.large instance type in us-west-2: ==> amazon-ebs: Error launching source instance: InvalidParameterCombination: Enhanced networking with the Elastic Network Adapter (ENA) is required for the 'c5.large' instance type. Ensure that you are using an AMI that is enabled for ENA. AMI ID ami-a042f4d8, which is the 1801_01 version. Any ETA on this support, or is this an error in the new version that was released? Thanks, Jonathan

Xen 4.4 Immediate EOL
by Kevin Stange 22 Jan '18

22 Jan '18

Hi, I am very sorry to do this on short notice, but obviously Meltdown and Spectre are a lot more than anyone was really expecting to come down the pipeline. Xen 4.4 has been EOL upstream for about a year now and I have personally been reviewing and backporting patches based on the 4.5 versions made available upstream. Given that 4.5 is now also reaching EOL, backporting to 4.4 will become harder and I've already taken steps to vacate 4.4 in my own environment ASAP. Spectre and Meltdown patches most likely will only officially reach 4.6 and are very complicated. Ultimately, I don't think this is a constructive use of my time. Therefore, I will NOT be continuing to provide updated Xen 4.4 builds any longer through CentOS Virt SIG. If someone else would like to take on the job, you're welcome to try. Pop by #centos-virt on Freenode to talk to us there if you're interested. For short term mitigation of the Meltdown issue on 4.4 with PV domains, your best bet is probably to use the "Vixen" shim solution, which George has put into the xen-44 package repository per his email from two days ago. Vixen allows you to run PV domains inside HVM guest containers. It does not protect the guest from itself, but protects the domains from each other. Long term, your best bet is to try to get up to a new version of Xen that is under upstream security support, probably 4.8. -- Kevin Stange Chief Technology Officer Steadfast | Managed Infrastructure, Datacenter and Cloud Services 800 S Wells, Suite 190 | Chicago, IL 60607 312.602.2689 X203 | Fax: 312.602.2688 kevin(a)steadfast.net | www.steadfast.net

Centos 6 2.6.32-696.18.7.el6.x86_64 does not boot in Xen PV mode
by Dan 22 Jan '18

22 Jan '18

Is this now fixed in the latest release by updating the hypervisor, the same as CentOS 7? Or does this require something further? I came across https://access.redhat.com/solutions/3312501 which seems to suggest Redhat are working on resolving the issue, so if that's the case then maybe the solution implemented by CentOS is not the best option? Kind Regards, Dan

"Vixen" HVM shim package available in virt-xen-testing
by George Dunlap 18 Jan '18

18 Jan '18

To install the package: yum --enablerepo=virt-xen-VV-testing xen-vixen Where VV is '44', '46', or '48', depending on which version you're using. (It's the same package for all versions.) This will install the xen-vixen "shim" binary, as well as the pvshim-converter script. See XSA-254 [1] for detailed information about who should use it, why, and when. Please report both successes and failures here. :-) -George [1] https://xenbits.xen.org/xsa/advisory-254.html

I thought I'd chime in and say that I'm seeing the same kernel-plus boot failure that Shaun Reitan reported earlier.
